What do 2 year olds wear in swimming bath?

[fizzbuzz]

Dumb question, but...armbands, armbands and rubber ring, floatie seat thing...?

float vest for my DD who is 2 - she loves it and swims on her own with it on. She didn't like armbands at all - too restrictive I think.

..and a float vest is......? Like a
life jacket over he head???

Don't forget the swimming costume

Those wetsuit (neoprene?) shoes for running (!!!) on the sides.

Mine wore armbands. Those seat things are for younger children I would say.

Cammelia lol...just bought one of those! That's why I need to know what they wear to float in!

In fact have just read my stupid question. It should read "What floating stuff should they wear in the swimming baths?.

I now it used to be rubber rings and armbands at 2 but just wondered if anyone else knew any better

Mine used a floaty vest thing.

It is a zip up gachet with IIRC 6 'chambers' in . As they get more confident you can reduce the numver of chambers.

Sometimes they wore armbands

like this

float jacket or armbands

I'm about to take dd2 aged two and nine months swimming. She'll be wearing a swimming costume and armbands. We also have a life jacket type thing, but she doesn't like it at all.

And bare feet - I find bare feet grip the best on the side of the pool (they shouldn't be running!)

Arm bands

dds both use armbands

Arm bands. Mine found everything else too restricting. And you can let a little air out as they get more confident. And they don't cost a fortune, so it doesnt't matter so much if they get lost. And if you forget them you can buy another pair without it breaking the bank.

Nothing bar a swimsuit and a swim nappy.

my 2yo goes to swimming classes with just armbands

Swim nappy, swimsuit and armbands here.

Well, looks like the armbands then.

Life jacket things look good, but as am taking her under duress and reluctantly, I don't want to buy something expensive as I would have to get money's worth from it.

Contributed quite a lot to the thread about 6 weeks ago on how much people hated taking dc's swimming

hope you enjoy it! Agree, just buy arm bands. I think my dd2 finds the life jacket type thing too restrictive.

My children at 2 could swim around independently in arm bands, but if your child is unused to the water it is possible that they might not be able to do that.
